Fabric Description: This is a thinner, lightweight printed silk derived from a woman's everyday kimono; the fabric is black background but completely filled with a checkerboard-style grid that uses notched blocks with flowers within; colors used: lines and borders are light-cream color, with black and mauve blocks alternating; some flowers have slight light-blue accents at centers of flowers, and others mauve; also, in the mauve blocks there is an intentional mock-batik (wrinkled) appearance (please see our last close-up above); These motifs are atypical -- especially the flowers, and to our eye could easily be seen as not Japanese at all; please see cultural note below; designs on one side only; slight drape.
CULTURAL BACKGROUND NOTE:
To our eye, this is a good example of the shift in kimono fabric designs beginning in the 1960s, but more so in late 1980s-1990s Japan; in that, while the specific designs are all traditional ( flowers), the overall look of the fabric is decidedly modern/Western in our opinion.
